* The ''[[Main/{{Mordor}} Gorgoroth]]'' sourcebook of the ''TabletopGame/MiddleEarthRolePlaying'' system describes the Sammath Naur - the complex of forges and laboratories within Mount Doom that Sauron used to create the One Ring. One chamber focused time energy on the artifact (rendering it immune to decay and corrosion) at the subjective rate of one thousand years per second. Naturally, this causes Men, Dwarves, and Hobbits to expire almost instantly, but even the supposedly immortal Elves would fade and die after an hour (3.6 ''million'' subjective years) of exposure to the chamber's power.
